Early in the evenin Just about supper time, Over by the courthouse Theyre starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner Trying to bring you up. Willy picks a tune out And he blows it on the harp. Down on the corner, Out in the street, Willy and the poorboys are playin; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. Rooster hits the washboard And people just got to smile, Blinky, thumps the gutbass And solos for a while. Poorboy twangs the rhythm out On his kalamazoo. And willy goes into a dance Doubles on kazoo. Down on the corner, Out in the street, Willy and the poorboys are playin; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. Down on the corner, Out in the street, Willy and the poorboys are playin; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. You dont need a penny Just to hang around, But if youve got a nickel, Wont you lay your money down? Over on the corner Theres a happy noise. People come from all around To watch the magic boy. Down on the corner, Out in the street, Willy and the poorboys are playin; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. Down on the corner, Out in the street, Willy and the poorboys are playin; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. Down on the corner, Out in the street, Willy and the poorboys are playin; Bring a nickel; tap your feet. Down on the corner, Out in the street, Willy and the poorboys are playin; Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
